Do you need any more evidence that this has literally nothing to do with the hostages and everything to do with a sick political stunt by Netanyahu?

They've had to evacuate their home and currently their family is crowded within a car garage, housing 12 people, with absolutely no privacy. And occasionally accommodating even more people. They're suffering from a lack of clean environment, with car exhausts and smoke from burning wood as well as insects which are all polluting the space this family is living in.

Fadia's youngest daughter is still a toddler with a weak immune system and the environment is causing her to have a persistent cold and cough.

Additionally, Fadia's mother is an elderly woman with diabetes and blood pressure who is experiencing health complications which cannot be healed in Gaza. She needs to be evacuated in order to seek treatment.

Fadia's family is trying to raise $100,000 CAD to evacuate but have merely reached $4,369 CAD.

Even a small donation can make a difference here. Please donate. And even if you can't please share and get their story out there.

"This is a union action. We condemn the human rights violations committed by the State of Israel. Israel violates media freedom. We are stopping the broadcast for a moment. #ceasefirenow, #stopgenocide," the message said. For a moment it seemed as if there had been a kidnapping, but it seems that the action was coordinated with the managers of VRT. As reported by De Standaard, the VRT spokeswoman claims that they were aware of the union action on public television. "Trade unions have the right to take action. We have taken note of it, but we will not react to it," said Yasmine Van der Borght. Several thousand people peacefully paraded through the streets of Swedish Malmo today as a sign of protest against Israel's participation in Eurovision, a few hours before the performance of 20-year-old singer Eden Golan with the song "Hurricane" in the second semi-final.

They currently (5/7/24) have a list of 848 families that need funding to escape Gaza. Anything you can donate will help no matter how small. It all adds up significantly, especially the more people that share and donate.

If you're not in a position where you can donate then please at least share. The more people that do, the better chance there is for these families to get help.
